....and then there were six

A mother Mallard, taken whilst on holiday in Cape Cod, MA, USA in May. She started off with 10 ducklings, but every day a couple were missing and she finally ended up with 2. There are Snapping Turtles in the pond

Many thanks for your C&Cs on my Greenfinch upload - very much appreciated as always

A lovely sight Sylvia, nature is just so raw!!!
We witnessed a Snapping Turtle laying eggs on the banks of Lake Superior and were warned to stay well away as they'd have your fingers off - so I don't expect those little ducklings stood a chance!!!
